Could it be that John had a dream of his own assassination, and recounted, imaged the event and expressed that in clear detail in Dream #9, going all the way back to the 1970's in the White Album? That deep in his mind, he was imaging that "bawakawa pousse" as someday being his own fate? We'll never know the trith of the full meaning of that song. |

Number 9, referring to the Beatles White Album, their ninth studio album, which has the song Revolution #9, where John repeats the words, "Number 9, number nine, number 9...", ad infinitum. Dream #9 is Johns follow up to that album song. |

Or perhaps a paranoid delusion dating back to the White Album that someday he might be gunned down in cold blood? "Bakawa" being Japanese for "situation", "pousse'" being French for "shoot"? |
